    Hey Guys question about workout style

    Hi. im 16 and i play soccer for the school, i would say im overall pretty fit with a lil extra fat on chest and stomache from eating to much fast food lol, but im not fat =0.

    i have just recently began lifting and am going to contiune for a long time, and just have a few questions.

    First Off i have heard that traning every other day and doing full body workout is good.
    But my Friends who are in FootBall say that its best to do everyday but different stuff, like doing Arms 1 day then Legs and so forth.

    Dose Enyone know what one is better to do, or is their a different style.
    also should i lose the lil extra weight before lifting, or is it good to have extra fat becuase it turns into mussel or something??

    Leme know thx =0

    Your young and your bf doesnt seem high so it is fine. Tell your friends they are crazy. A total body routine is great for strength. Dont let young kids persuade you one way or another, they more than likely dont have a clue other than what they read from a magazine. Either total body or an upper/lower routine would probably suit you best. Work with high reps to strengthen tendons and joints first. Reps in the 8-12 rep range.

    Most workout program from the schools I have seen have been total bullshit. We did however do bigger faster stronger whenever I was in high school which is good, but for a beginner to lay down and start pressing reps of 3 or 5 is ridiculous if you ask me.

    GO with a good total body routine. Your friends are stupid.

    Bigger Faster Stronger makes my head hurt because of the way it is applied by coaches.

    my coachs make sure every one knows what they are doing first before the freshmen even get to add weight to the bars. that and most of the other older players that have been in the program for a few years and have a good idea of what they are doing keep an eye on the younger ones that are lifting

    Haha.....well every single coach that is around my area has a degree alright its in education or pe. They know very little about weight training and probably know about as much as new comers. But yet they throw a program out there and say do it and record your progress, MORONS!

    max gains = max rest

    "MUSCLE"
    okok, fat doesnt convert to muscle, ever, under no circumstances.
    and it depends on what your goal is, as to how your train.
    First off, remember DIET IS 85% of what you want to achieve. secondly, if you are looking to put on lean mass, I would say one muscle group a day.
    i.e.:
    mon quads
    tues bi/tri
    wed chest
    thurs shoulders
    fri back
    sat hamstrings


    stay committed, stay dedicated and stay on track. talk to others that have your same goal and the ones who have gone before you.
    Good luck!!

    Yeah our PE teacher taught the weight training class in high school to. He payed more attention to what was on the radio rather than the class.

    Thing is if a beginner starts with something like a bench press and hasnt developed proper tendon strength or joint function he may well fuck hiself over there. See what I am getting at?

    Simply put I would get away from benching if possible. I would do whats comfortable and thats it. He could definitly suck my nuts.

    No again thats a horrible idea. You will see your best strength gains from either an upper lower routine or a total body routine. Thats crap you have there is more suited torwards a bodybuilder, who may or may not be using AAS.

    Do a full body workout 2-3 times per week. This is coming from a personal trainer - most of the other people who have responded with full body or an upper/lower split are professionals in the industry or quite experienced.

    Who are you going to listen to; us, or some high school kids?
